The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Chapter 24: (Mr. H.M Woggle Bug)

(Mr. H.M Woggle-Bug)

*December 20th, 1900*

*Winkie Country*

A few hours had passed as The gang was flying over the Winkie Country as everyone was relieved to have escaped from Jinjur's army as their next mission was to see Glinda in hopes of asking her to restore Scarecrow's throne and tell Tip about his past.

"Gump is flying awfully slow! We're never gonna make it in time!" Jack Pumpkinhead had complained in a tiresome voice while Tip nodded his head in agreement.

"He's right, can't you fly any faster! We can't allow Jinjur and Mombi to do whatever they please so please hurry up?" Tip had spoken to Gumb in full support of Jack Pumpkinhead's words; however, Gump yawned rather loudly in response much to the annoyance of Tip.

"I can't fly any faster but I'm also tired as well since I've been flying for quite a long time so I might as well take a snooze.." Gump had responded back in a sleepy tone of voice as this panic erupted in the bed as everyone was on their toes.

"This isn't the time to be sleeping! You have one job and it's taking us to Quadling Country!" Scarecrow had spoken out to Gump with annoyance; however, it was worthless as the snores of the Gump could be heard as the bed suddenly descended towards the surface with great speed.

"Oh no!! We're all gonna die!!! Wake up, Gump!!" Jack Pumpkinhead had cried out in fear while Tip was slapping the bedpost in hopes of waking the creature.

"Come on! You've picked the worst time to be sleeping..: Tip had uttered out in shock as unfortunately, Gump had come crashing down on the land of the Winkies as this proved to be troublesome as the gang had no way of continuing on with their journey unless Gump woke up.

"Of course that idiot falls asleep at such a crucial moment during our journey.." Sawhorse had spoken out in annoyance while Tip and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"You're right and I also should have taken Mombi's anosmia powder when I had the chance.." Tip had spoken out as he could do nothing but sit alongside Scarecrow and the others while waiting for Gump to wake up.

"Wait! My good friend, Tin Woodman, lives in Winkie County and I say we should pay him a visit and ask him and the Winkies if they could make Gump's flying faster" Scarecrow had spoken out as this idea made Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead's faces lit up in joy as they knew that things was gonna get just a little better.

"Really? If so then that's wonderful! We should get a move on but how should we deal with Gump? I kinda don't want to leave him all alone" Tip had spoken out in curiosity as Scarecrow had thought about it for a moment before deciding on his answer.

"If we had some rope then maybe we could pull the bed to where Tin Woodman's castle is but none of us is strong enough to sustain such a weight.." Scarecrow had answered back as it seemed like things were rather pleak; however a voice called out to them.

"Maybe I could be of use, hm? I may not look like it but I can surely and absolutely thoroughly provide you good people the strength to carry such a magnificent thing and who am I? My name is Mr. H.M Woggle Bug T.E '' Woggle Bug had spoken out to the gang while tipping his hat to show respect.

Woggle Bug had stood fully as tall as a man. The Woggle Bug had a great, round body with slender arms and legs, delicate feet, and toes that curl upward. His body is rather flat, the back being a glistening dark brown, and the front striped with bands of light brown and white and had a long neck, and his head is much like man's except that his ears and nose end in curling antennae. His black eyes are rather bulging, but his face is by no means unpleasant.
